Chidren are seen through a window in a temporary daycare center set up on Novembre 20, 2008, in Herouville-Saint-Clair, northwestern France, on a national teachers’ striking day. Under a recent law, mayors have to provide children care services in case of strike in public services. Teachers demonstrate today as close to 20,000 jobs were slashed in 2007 and 2008 under President Nicolas Sarkozy’s plan to trim the civil service by not replacing many of the retiring employees.
